Objective To investigate the levels of soluble tyrosine kinase-1(sFlt-1)and chemokine C-C ligand 3(CCL3)in serum of patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)and their correlation with the severity of the disease.Methods A total of 230 elderly CHD patients admitted to the De-partment of Cardiovascular Medicine of Xinxiang Central Hospital from November 2020 to No-vember 2022 were collected as the study subjects(CHD group),and according to their Gensini score,they were divided into mild(n=89),moderate(n=95),and severe(n=46)CHD sub-groups.Another 230 healthy individuals who taking physical examination during the same period served as the control group.ELISA was applied to measure serum levels of sFlt-1 and CCL3.ROC curve was plotted to analyze the diagnostic values of serum sFlt-1 and CCL3 levels for CHD.Pear-son correlation analysis was employed to analyze the relationship between serum sFlt-1 and CCL3 levels and the CHD severity.Results The serum levels of sFlt-1 and CCL3 were obviously higher in the CHD group than the control group(121.71±29.80 ng/L vs 98.70±17.57 ng/L,18.22± 5.41 ng/L vs 13.68±3.89 ng/L,P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value of the two indicators combined together was significantly greater than that of them alone in diagnosis of CHD(0.886 vs 0.791,0.775,P＜0.01).The serum levels of sFlt-1 and CCL3 were increased along with the severity of the disease and Gensini score when the levels and the score were compared among the mild,moderate and severe subgroups(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis indicated that the serum levels of sFlt-1 and CCL3 were positively correlated with the Gensini score(r=0.420,r=0.479,P＜0.01).Conclusion The levels of serum sFlt-1 and CCL3 are obviously ele-vated in CHD patients,and closely associated with the severity of coronary lesions.
